Just smoked the trimmer. Shaft got so hot, the head assembly melted. It was a John Deere branded Homelite model.
Made in 1999 - no replacement parts.
Reviews indicate the newer Homelites no longer John Deere and most reviewer used the initials POS associated with the new ones.
Home Depot choices offer Echo, Black and Decker, and Ryobi. There is also a Sears in town. Other resort is on-line or a 200 mile round trip to Phoenix.
So---new trimmer. Would like to stay under $100. Gas or electric - don't care. Less than a half acre here. Has to be done maybe twice a year.
Also the lighter in weight the better. Bad back, you know.
And the collective trust suggests....???
